Thanks again to all my new followers. I am still in the process of vetting followers. So, be patient as I am not overlooking you. It really helps to have a bio or having had some posts on your page. If you're in a Starter Pack that I am familiar with this also helps.

Thanks again for your patience.

MAGA feels louder online because bot networks are amplifying its online presence, even as real-world support for this administration continues to fracture.

Texas for the win AGAIN! 🎉
Congrats to the new Mayor of Leander TX, Democrat Na’Cole Thompson! HUGE!👇🏽

Won’t go into detail, but my family has a horrid history with Leander after filing suit against the school district. We won, but WE had to move due to RW politics.

Blue 🌊 behavior, baybee!

#GOTV🗳️
Late result for anyone still awake: Na’Cole Thompson, the Democratic candidate in the mayoral race today in Leander, Texas, has won the election.

She got 57% and won’t need a runoff, with two Republicans adding up to 43%.

Cruelty is the goal of this administration

Putting a child who's recovering back into detention proves it

Did you vote for this?

Will you choose it again?

Finally, export it. State Dept is sending US taxpayer funds to RW European think tanks & Reform UK under the 250th anniversary banner. The goal: undermine EU and UK online safety laws and cultivate resistance to allied democracies.

They’re using Palantir’s ELITE app to build instant dossiers on protesters, treating normal tools like Signal encryption as evidence of conspiracy. When asking questions becomes “solicitation,” journalism dies.

Silence the witnesses. FBI surveilled Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson, then raided her home and seized devices, seeking biometric unlocking. Her “crime”? Using Signal with sources.

Trump told Republicans to “take over the voting” and “nationalize” elections in at least 15 jurisdictions, falsely claiming immigrant voter fraud. This followed an FBI raid on Fulton County’s elections office seizing 2020 ballots. He’s not hiding it.

These aren’t regular agents. They’re BORTAC and Special Response Teams. Military-style units. Warrantless home entries. Two civilians killed in Minnesota. Zero criminal charges across 16 shootings since July. Judges fear contempt could trigger a worse crisis.

What if courts intervene? They already are. Minnesota federal judges documented ICE violating ~100 court orders in January 2026. Ignoring habeas rulings. Refusing releases. Transferring detainees to Texas to evade jurisdiction.

When federal law enforcement surrounds voting sites, arrests aren’t required. Presence alone deters lawful voters, especially in immigrant communities where US citizens fear masked agents. Intimidation by design.

The White House won’t promise ICE agents won’t surround the polls in November. Federal judges say ICE violated 100 court orders in January alone. College voting programs are being dismantled. This isn’t chaos. It’s a system. Here’s how it works. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

It’s imperative. It’s paramount.The right is pouring money and energy into undermining everything Mayor Mamdani is doing. X is awash with negative posts. That only works if we stay silent. We have to stand behind our leaders, defend the wins, and actively spread the good news. Silence is surrender.🗽
